    BAS removal tips and tricks


    Is it really that hard??? I'm standing on the gun ( I weigh 205) and have a cheater bar giving me about 36 inches of leverage and the damn thing is laughing at me. It is standard thread ccw loosen right? That damn cocking indicator in the 10fcp-k makes things difficult too (I am doing it uncocked obviously). Will I hurt the bolt handle standing fully on it, which I haven't done yet. I do have an impact that's good for 1000 ft-lbs but that doesn't sound like a good idea.

    take it out of the gun!!!! lay just the bolt on the floor and stand on the handle to keep it from turning them apply pressure to the screw. CCW to loosen

    I got it!!! WTF though, someone ate their spinach at the factory. It took a 4 foot long cheater bar and some dirty language while standing on it and I thought I broke my ratchet when it finally popped. Going to try a thin (0.025") PTFE washer and some polishing to see if it eases the bolt lift a bit.
